Can’t Grant play No9 and push O’Dowda forward?

I do think O'Dowda is wasted at left back, but disagree with you about beating players... Ojo has had a decent preseason and beaten his man on a number of occasions to fire a shot or cross and Grant has been beating men repeatedly, Robinson also moves quickly past his man. However, the final ball is often missing and we lack someone to finish off the moves - unless fixed this will be our downfall this season.

I’m still trying to work out whether it’s the lack of positional sense of the striker (s) or the quality of ball in or the face we are looking constantly for the ‘perfect’ ball or a mixture of them all.
I know that when Etete came on we certainly seemed to get the ‘percentage ‘ balls into the box.

Hopefully we’ll catch Leeds on Sunday.
Tbf, Ojo did pretty well snd there’s going to be loads of willing runners around Ramsey.
